Dutch coverage is always very anti German, including adverts, generally with war references. They also used to mention holland a lot of the time when they qualified for tournaments. Bbc coverage is far from unique. Christ, go to South America if you want to see one sided coverage. Personally I think it’s scots moaning for moaning sake. With a large scoop of jealousy. There’s bigger things to worry about, just sit back and enjoy them screw it up against mediocre opposition

He was having the Argentinian “su padre” moment

What a second half. Nigerians should feel hard done by though, more than played their part

Christ, what an ending to Group B! I left for work with 12 mins to go, Iran were unlucky not to score just before I left, but didn't expect the Spain / Morocco score at all. Got to be one of the most open / well contested world cups in a long time.

Ah ffs, forgot to do today's games That's ended my meteoritic rise

Have never rated him as a keeper. Not watched the highlights yet but another howler doesn’t surprise me. Good result though and hopefully we can get past the poles later this week.

My question is, what creativity did Christie actually provide? He was utter horse shit for a lot of last season. I was thoroughly disappointed with him, given how well he'd played previously. I agree with the principle of buying someone who is young and exciting, despite his obvious skill I thought Christie lost the ball an awful lot, and held onto it far too long.

Did we really think Christie was any good at any point last season? Certainly latterly he was absolutely pish and a waste of a jersey. Personally, I'm not sure he offers us enough and tries too much himself.

I hate the hun as any other, but if a player improves us, regardless of where he comes from, i'm all for it. Unless they've got a proven criminal record like their latest signing. Folk seem to ignore the fact he played for both celtics beforehand He's just a mercenary, but a talented one at that.

Was still one of the best players in the league. I think he’d have been a decent enough stop gap. Just not sure who we’d get rid of to accommodate him mind

Wow, some goal by Kroos! Had read it was something special but didn't expect that at all Toivonen, horrible player, so i'm pleased the swedes lost purely because of him. They should have had a penalty though, not sure why VAR wasn't used?!? Hate to say it, but this world cup is bubbling along very nicely

Tim mate doesn’t think that’s happening. He’s usually relatively on the money for them. Not that I really care

Premier sports will be gutted

Tim mate of mine said they're going to go for Patrick Roberts on the back of it. Wasn't he distinctly average last season?

I have faith that once the game approaches your mood will change. It’s a different team, one we’ve never played . Smell of the turf and glow of the lights. Perfect summer night game. And no potential ambushes to regular fans for a change. Not all bad seebass. Think it’ll be a cracker of a tie. Who knows what’ll happen. Also, to the clarets on the board. Our away end is pretty awful for views . If you think palace away is tight, wait for this just as well your away lot usually stand anyway

Absolutely, easily one of my favourite midfielders of the past 10 years. That midfield performance from Croatia was something to behold.

Good old hatters, ruining the fun for all.

Watched cardinal tonight. What a fucking waste of time.

Not known anyone to get any bother unless they’re one of the Glasgow cheeks or been looking for it. I’d be really disappointed and surprised if anything happened to an away fan (unless one of the above).

Most certainly so. An absolute pumping. Well played Croatia!

What a fuck up by Caballero for the Croatia goal They've taken Aguero off too.

Good to have a couple of clarets on board. Their away crowd, much like ours, is boisterous so should make both ties decent in terms of atmosphere, regardless of a booze levels Just hope there isn't any trouble and both sides come out of the ties better for it Burnley has always struck me as a proper well run family club. Something ours could learn from (i.e. not taking advantage of it's fans). Nice to see them give the big boys a good scare at times too. Will be interesting to see how we fare, I imagine DM will treat it like he does a game against the glasgow cheeks. Kow, I didn't think anyone was suggesting Celtic would be top 6, they wouldn't be struggling in the premier league though. It's all arbitrary anyway as they don't play in the league and nor have the same levels of $.

Guess I don’t have to deal with that DD , although occasionally the commentary is from itv, so genuinely shite. Have watched a lot on Dutch tv as they don’t have anything to cheer for and it means you don’t have to change Channel ??

Great to have you aboard mel! Known a few burnley fans over my time and genuinely gutted I’m not around. Going to be a Cracking tie and evenly matched. Probably a tie neither team really wanted.
